JavaScript Survey Trends and Analysis

The JavaScript Ecosystem in 2019 and Beyond

Every year, the JavaScript ecosystem survey, conducted by npm, Inc., surveys hundreds of thousands of developers from around the globe to assess current trends, use cases and what’s coming next in the world of JavaScript.

The goal of the survey is to learn more about the JavaScript community’s needs and behavior, and to help npm and others in the npm community make better technical choices and serve their users better.

This year, over 33,000 developers participated, providing invaluable insight into how, when and why they use JavaScript, and what their primary goals and concerns are with the code that they use and develop.
